4 of the best guys around!! Ready to smack those balls. Let’s go!!! Warmarama: Put your paddle in the hole and wait your turn. The Thang: Greatness! Moleskin: When YHC says “We run these courts”, what I mean is when it’s our turn you run to the next available court. Bodo’s and I were a bit disappointed that no one knew what happened here at Forest Hill Park on Saturday and that they were getting ready to play with The Champs Chimps. Great to see Honeydo and Hardywood putting in the work for the 2025 Roger Roger F3 RVA Pickleball…

Seven strode onto the hard courts of south Richmond for the latest presentation of Batteau, Pickleball Edition. Conditions court side remained 70 and sunny. According to the neighbors calling 911 with reports of noise violations, the following might have happened. Quick disclaimer. But, not THAT disclaimer. The other disclaimer – the one about “watch out for the ball catcher obstructions between courts. Mosey around the courts while waiting for the sun to arrive. Lap 1: jog around courts. Mutually assist in avoiding obstructions. Lap 2: parking space tracers, sideways slides, Bernie Sanders, etc. YHC completely forgets Disclaimer and destroys one…

With Oyster vacating and Hitchhiker a week removed from baby 3, YHC should’ve known pickleball was a long shot. No lessons were learned from Bulkhead’s solo outing a week ago. YHC did a workout deemed too hard for Iron Pax. Trust me on that one.
4 champs arrived at Batteau ready to handle some business. Warmarama: A few dinks, a few long shots. We ready! The Thang:Meatball/Oyster (W), Hitchhiker/McRib (L)Hitchhiker/McRib (L), Meatball/Oyster (W)McRib/Oyster (W), Meatball, Hitchhiker (L)Meatball/Hitchhiker (W), McRib/Oyster (L)** Hitchhiker refused to play the 3rd game to break the tie** May have had a good reason something about kids and early camp schedule. Or maybe he just wanted to enjoy the W. Next time buddy. NMS: Congrats to Bodo’s and his 1000 Post today. Sorry to have missed it, but Mondays are for Pickleball.

4 HIMs had a little left in the tank to mix it up on the courts after Big Rig’s Birthday Q and other morning adventures. (Rosie, Hardywood, State Farm also completed Morning Wood; put in that work boys). Warmarama: A few hits back and forth, a few rules to share and some help from one of the locals. The Thang:Rosie: I never played before……. smashes the ball, again and again. Hardywood: I never played before…. Puts a mean spin on that ball. Won’t stay out of the kitchen. Promises to sell Pickelball Shoes at relaygoods.com. Get you some! State Farm:…
Eight came to whack the ball around in the latest edition of The Batteau, Summer Pickleball Edition. Temperatures were, once again, 70 and sunny. According to ESPN’s SportsCenter coverage, the following might have happened: COP. Mosey around the courts, watching for the occasional court drying equipment or ball barrier. Work in a few reps of shuffling side-to-side or Bernie Sanders to get the muscles loose. SSHs, Dead Man Hang, and a little bit of broga. Onto the Main Event. Doubles. Fun was had. Wind was a factor. Rain held off. Nice work, gentlemen. Great games today. Numbers, names, and YHC…
